PURPOSE The purpose of our study was to develop and validate an isogenic cell line pair that differs only in the expression of NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1) that can be used to examine the in vitro and in vivo role of NQO1 in the bioactivation of the antitumor quinone RH1 (2,5-diaziridinyl-3-(hydroxymethyl)-6-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone), a compound currently in Phase I clinical trials. E...
NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase isozyme 1 (NQO1) is a flavoenzyme and involved in protection against oxidative stress the regulation of metabolic functions, which strongly implicated neurodegenerative diseases carcinogenic processes. Furthermore, NQO1 also modes action redox-active drugs (e.g., antimalarials). Determining activity localization living organisms great importance for early disease...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) is an enzyme that protects cells against mutagenicity from free radicals and toxic oxygen metabolites. The gene coding for NQO1 is subject to a genetic polymorphism at nucleotide position 609 (C-->T) of the human NQO1 cDNA. Heterozygous individuals (C/T) have intermediate activity and homozygotes for the variant allele (T/T) are ...
NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1), an obligatory two-electron reductase, is a ubiquitous cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of quinone substrates. The NQO1- mediated two-electron reduction of quinones can be either chemoprotection/detoxification or a chemotherapeutic response, depending on the target quinones. When toxic quinones are reduced by NQO1, they are conjugated with glut...
NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1; EC 1.6.99.2), originally called DT-diaphorase (1), is an enzyme that has attracted considerable attention because of its ability to detoxify a number of natural and synthetic compounds and, conversely, to activate certain anticancer agents (2, 3). It is also a highly inducible enzyme. Synthetic antioxidants, such as butylated hydroxyanisole, and extracts ...
Evidence from a number of studies suggests that the mechanism by which tumor necrosis factor (TNF) kills transformed cells involves oxidative stress. NAD(P)H:(quinone acceptor) oxidoreductase (NQO1) is an antioxidant enzyme with particular relevance to cancer. The MCF-7 breast cancer cell line was stably transfected with rat NQO1 cDNA to determine whether increased NQO1 activity alters sensitiv...
Previously, we reported an association of mitomycin C resistance and a deficiency of NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1) in HCT 116-R30A cells, a subline derived from mitomycin C-sensitive HCT 116 cells. In HCT 116 cells, we found two mRNAs coding full-length cDNAs of NQO1 differing at codon 139, one with arginine (wild type), and one with tryptophan. Only the tryptophan 139 form of mRNA was ...
NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) is an antioxidant enzyme, important in the detoxification of environmental carcinogens. A single base substitution (C --> T) polymorphism at nucleotide 609 (null-allele) of NQO1 gene impairs stability and function of the NQO1 protein. To investigate the association of this NQO1 polymorphism with susceptibility to esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC)...
CONTEXT We have previously identified nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1), an enzyme involved in the protection against oxidative stress, as a gene predominantly expressed in human adipocytes. Studies in mice deficient in NQO1 activity suggest that NQO1 may also play an important role in metabolism. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to explore the exp...
UNLABELLED Human NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) is essential for the antioxidant defense system, stabilization of tumor suppressors (e.g. p53, p33, and p73), and activation of quinone-based chemotherapeutics. Overexpression of NQO1 in many solid tumors, coupled with its ability to convert quinone-based chemotherapeutics into potent cytotoxic compounds, have made it a very attractive ...
